Description Andrew Gvozdev CLA 2010-07-21 11:31:46 EDT 
The location of the build console in cdt.ui prevents better integration of the console with other build components. This task is a blocker for bug 297222, and I've run into it before on a few occasions too.

Currently the console classes are located in internal packages of cdt.ui. The suggested location is org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui so it would be accessible in other build plugins.
Comment 1 Andrew Gvozdev CLA 2010-08-30 10:41:38 EDT 
I posted this request to cdt-dev development list. There were a few responses which I compiled below. 
Basically, this bug is stalled since there was no agreement but clear disagreement to proceed with that.

Fact check: No, the patch does not introduce dependency from cdt.ui to cdt.make.ui.

see also bug 297222 where I post responses referring to its functionality.
